Abstract Equality and community are the two basic principles of socialism argued by G. A. Cohen. However, the two concepts have not been paid the same attention in his argument, that it is very easy for us to see the principle of community merely as a supplement to the principle of equality while neglect its inner value and its due position in Cohens thoughts of political philosophy. The principle of community, as a caring principle, has its own intrinsic value, is the condition for realizing Cohens idea of voluntary equality, and regulates the construction of his justice theory of egalitarianism.
